Is an angular pull of 45 degrees permitted on non-shoulder type eyebolts?

An angular pull of 45 degrees on non-shoulder type eyebolts is not permitted due to the inherent design and load-bearing capacity of these eyebolts. Non-shoulder type eyebolts are primarily designed to handle straight (axial) loads effectively. When an angular pull is applied, especially at such an angle, it alters the distribution of forces on the bolt, which can lead to a significant decrease in its load capacity and potential failure.

The structural integrity and safety of lifting operations heavily depend on using equipment as intended. Non-shoulder eyebolts lack the necessary design features that allow them to handle lateral or angular loads safely. Therefore, adhering to these design parameters is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring load stability during lifting operations. By using eyebolts in ways they were not intended, the risk of equipment failure and associated hazards increases significantly.
